Thanks for that, any info is a help to understand the different stages and options.Heyup mate You can only have the prostrate removed at stage 2 .. stage one they do nothing.. put you on a watch list.. stage 2 you get the choice of removal or Radiotherapy... stage 3 (mine) once its started to leave the prostate then no point removing it as you wont get all the cancer so radiotherapy the only option... stage 4 your heading into chemo land ..
Just heard that on R2 news bulletin.I naturally wake up around 6am every morning and have a cup of tea and scan the WWW for any current news etc.

Just had my MRI yesterday after a raised PSA. Already have an appointment for 6th November to see the doc which may or may not involve further tests.
I've been to many MRI's in my current role but never been in one so that was an experience. Mind you nearly fell asleep in it!
I’m fully expecting to join the club eventually. My dad had it and my uncle died with it.
I’m 36, I’ll get to 40 and then see what I can do with routine checks.
Happy to see the positive updates on this thread
Good going.Bloody hell, fair play, they rang this morning with the appointment for biopsy this day week!

Nope, but I know what to expect. It will be what it will be, it will be worth it to find out if I have it or not rather than ignore things and hope.have you ever had a biopsy before?

I'm very black and white about it all, either I have it or I don't. If I do it's all down to how bad it is as to what I do with the rest of my life. Im mildly encouraged that the MRI is normal so at least theres no big tumour / mass. Now its the biopsy, just one more step in the process.
Stupid absolutely, I wouldn't say it's selfish.My sister's friend's brother has it and there is nothing they can do now so he is sorting out his affairs. Her friend's brother had his caught in time as did my brother and they are clear after radiotherapy.
My wife's sister's husband is up numerous times in the night to urinate and he can't go for long walks without disappering behind a tree but he will not go to the GP. His wife and his Mum keep on at him but he will not listen, to me that is just stupid and selfish.
It is if he has it and it cannot be cured, what about his wife, 3 children and 4 grandchildren?Stupid absolutely, I wouldn't say it's selfish.
Them being left with whatever way they will feel doesn't make him selfish. Im not looking for a row about this. It's his (stupid) choice.It is if he has it and it cannot be cured, what about his wife, 3 children and 4 grandchildren?
Well, that stung a bit!
Sorry probably shouldnt laugh.. but you where expectign it.. I didnt like to say before but probably the worse thing I have ever had done in a hospital...
You might laugh later.. but probably not
PS Fingers crossed all clear .. have you a date to go for the results?
I just had to grin and bear it, as expected, to be fair an hour later and since and all is fine. No pain, bit of a sore bum from the ultrasound probe but have some pile cream with lidocaine plus have brufen and paracetemol.
Results wise, well spoilers. She said I'll get a letter if all well, but anything else will be face to face. So if they ask for face to face I know somethings up. No specific date though was given, I expect a couple of weeks.
What about them?It is if he has it and it cannot be cured, what about his wife, 3 children and 4 grandchildren?
I thought that was obvious?What about them?
Deciding on medical treatment that best suits others sounds a bit hollow.I thought that was obvious?
They will suffer when he dies. If he gets checked out now and it can be treated they will keep him for a few more years!
It is nearly 13 years since I got treated, I got diagnosed in the November and had my prostate removed in the January. If the diagnosis and treatment had been later I would not be typing this response.
Well ****, intermediate risk, so got a lot of reading to do and all options from watch and wait to radical prostatectomy offered.
I don't know, i was given all options including radical prostatectomy, no way im going for that, it's not that bad.watch list then.. stage one.... GOOD NEWS is your early and will be 100% fine at the end of the journey All the best
